I was thinking on the same thing (theoretically only). I assume you need:
- A state-of-the-art computer running a strong, stable OS, preferably Unix type.
- 1000000 zillion thousand GB of hard drive capacity.
- A very fast and reliable internet connection (uplink also has to be fast!).
- A web server and some additional stuff installed. (PHP, MySQL, etc...)
- Static IP address.
- A good domain name.
- If you want to provide paid service, a dedicated bank account and/or a PayPal account.
Does anyone have anything to add? Bondings? N0obie4life?

for payed service a secondary backup server on remote location with auto mirroring and both servers on UPS (as well as networking)
(btw i dont think you need a state of the art computer... just something standard with 1gb ram and prefferebly raid 2.2, and yeah, lots of large hard drives )

(btw, on second thought, it depends what you want really, if you want marketing only, you can rent the whole server http://www.dedicatedplace.com/ (just an example (i think frihost runs here) anyway... this might be cheaper then getting the required bandwith etc directly to your home or something
